On February 6, 2018 at 13:40 (EST), Elon Musk launched the Falcon Heavy super-heavy rocket. The whole world watched this thanks to the online broadcast of the SpaceX channel on Youtube. Musk's Tesla Roadster sports car was sent into orbit as cargo...SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon Heavy super-heavy launch vehicle from the launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The rocket launched and left the ground at 13:40 EST. The launch was delayed slightly due to strong winds.
A super-heavy launch vehicle sent into space the personal car of Space X head Elon Musk, a red Tesla Roadster convertible. A mannequin in a spacesuit sits behind the wheel of a car, “Don’t panic!” written on the dashboard of the car and the David Bowie song “Space Oddity” plays from the car speakers, as Musk himself claims.
The launch of the Falcon Heavy super-heavy space rocket, capable of playing a decisive role in future human flights to Mars, aroused a storm of interest among ordinary Earthlings. The live broadcast on television networks and via the Internet was watched by millions of viewers with bated breath. After the symbolic payload was launched into a given orbit and two of the three booster rockets landed accurately back at the cosmodrome, it became clear that the test was successful. The unsuccessful return of the third accelerator, which crashed into the ocean instead of a smooth landing on an offshore platform, was called by the creator of the project, Elon Musk, expected and not so significant in the grand scheme of things. Congratulations poured in on Elon Musk and the employees of his company SpaceX, including from those who directly compete with SpaceX in the space race. Author: GEximius
